Pros

Nice people, good clients, (mostly) good benefits (see below), good culture. CEO really knows his stuff.

Cons

Trying to get bosses to approve time off is like pulling teeth. And employee reviews are unfairly harsh.

I thank you for your feedback. While I cannot comment on your specific situation, I can say we do value honest feedback. Sometimes getting positive feedback in general is different than feedback in a review since it tends to be more specific with skills. With all that being said, I am sorry you felt like you had conflicted messages and then had to leave. I wish you all the best in your career. Steve

We take wellbeing very seriously and while remote can be difficult I am so glad we have maintained such a positive environment Steve

Pros

Strong remote‑first culture, which I appreciated.

Cons

I was one week into the job when my manager informed me that my pre‑planned vacation would not be approved. This trip was booked and fully paid for a year in advance, and it was meant to celebrate several major milestones in my life: my graduation, my 30th birthday, and my anniversary. Canceling was not an option without losing several thousands of dollars. During this conversation, I was told that new hires are only allowed to take two days off at a time. This policy was never mentioned during the hiring process, and I could not find it anywhere in my new‑hire paperwork. For a company that emphasizes work‑life balance and well‑being, the lack of flexibility was surprising and disappointing. Instead of working with me on a reasonable solution, they chose to deny the request entirely. As a result, I resigned. It’s unfortunate that the company preferred to restart the hiring process rather than allow one pre‑planned vacation. I do not recommend accepting a job at this company if you have any upcoming travel or personal commitments.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry this situation was disappointing, particularly given how meaningful this trip was. PTO guidelines, including expectations for new hires, are reviewed during onboarding, and we encourage early discussion of any pre‑planned commitments. We appreciate the feedback and wish you all the best going forward
